BIG MONEY UP.
At the very lowest estimates half million
dollars must have been On the track and
a million the winners book. The book
had extra help and they could not
take the money in fast enough. Richmond
was the tremendous favorite. His trainer |
said before the race hat he did not see |
how he could lose. Quito, however, had
such ii powerful following that he crowded
him Close on the market. Grimaldi, who
has "A great reputation as a good performer
In the mud, was the pick Of the track. Ru-
pert was well supported II the Haggins
are said to have had $4,000 OF Ben Ali.
There was n great hubbub over the fact
that Quito and Ben Ali were
EFT AT THE POST.
Haggins and Congressman Scott were SO
indignant that they said they would not
any more horses at Sheepshead Bay
Caldwell, the starter. was not removed.
Then there were wild charges that Caldwell
had been brihed by the bookmakers, who
stood to lose heavily on both horses. 1t
was said that the executive committee
would hold IA meeting and rule him of
Tor life, and Caldwell protested that it was
done Internationally, and that leaving the
horses was an accident. Garrison and
Mclaughlin, the Jockeys, said their horses
would not move of, and this was probably
the cause, as Ben Ali was left in the same
manner early in. the week. The executive
will take no action.
